The Relationship of Ozone Low over Scandinavian with the Surface Temperature of the North Atlantic
|
Abstract:
The distribution and seasonal variation of ozone loss over Scandinavia are analyzed using the TOMS ozone data and NCAR / NCEP reanalysis data. It reveals that there exists a strong ozone low over the Scandinavian and its adjacent areas. The ozone low varies with the season, and changes strongest in winter and weakest in summer. The relationship of the North Atlantic surface temperature (SST) with the ozone low shows a close correlation (negative). Therefore, we may estimate the ozone loss over the Scandinavian area using the North Atlantic SST as a predictor on a global climate change.
